[jdev] My outgoing jabber packet

[Anthony Ortiz]

Ahhhh.... after your reply, I did some digging and found something I
had missed. It *does* say that the message element *may* contain
custom child elements with any name, Oh well, so much for regex. Back
to the good old stack... though I guess I can still use regex to pick
up the tags. Thanks for pointing this out dude, I appreciate it! :D

p.s. Damn nice server you guys wrote, I'm using a trial version and
I'm impressed! You do any work on it yourself?
